Review Comment:
   We can not distinguish between the 2 cases. The API is backwards compatible 
(as expected by the Hive team), so the HMS will always take the env context 
input variables, but will not act on them.
   
   I think this is not that interesting case, as the writer should have a clear 
info about the HMS they are connecting to.
